Summary
They were the perfect family. It was the perfect crime.
The new gripping DCI Matilda Darke crime thriller about the dark secrets that lie within a perfect family. For fans of Patricia Gibney and Angela Marsons.
It’s the most disturbing crime scene DCI Matilda Darke has ever seen.
The morning after a wedding reception at a beautiful suburban home in Sheffield, the bride’s entire family are stabbed to death—in a frenzied attack more violent than anything DCI Matilda Darke could have imagined.
Forensics point to a burglar on the run across the country. But cracks are starting to appear in Matilda’s team, someone is playing games with the evidence—and the killer might be closer to home than they thought....
Critic reviews
"Gory, brutal, devastating, utterly addictive and yet so finely written. This deserves to be huge - and I think it will be. His best yet." (Louise Beech)
"Wood has created a fantastic lead character for his gritty South Yorkshire police procedurals. Matilda Darke is Sheffield’s answer to Northumberland’s Vera and Wood’s stories are up there with the best. Fast-paced, crisp writing and a thoroughly enjoyable read." (David Young)

Absolutely no self control…..it’s like the “snack drawer”!!!!!! :):)

Not for the squeamish!
Another fantastic story from Michael Wood. Find myself binge listening to this series it’s so good. The beginning is very gory but settles down after that. Matilda continues to be the maverick copper tracking down the killer. Stephanie Beattie is, as always, a fantastic narrator and the epilogue leaves you wanting to download the next book so that’s what I’m doing now!

Not too bad
Stayed off well but sorry became a tad unrealistic .. plus narrator was very nasally & all women sounded the same.
